Falcons and FURIA Punch Their Tickets to BLAST Rivals Fall Semis
It’s a quick out for Team Falcons and FURIA at the $350K BLAST Rivals Fall 2025 event, as the pair has advanced past their groups to claim those sought after spots in the semifinals on Thursday. It’s still a toss up at this point, with these two appearing as early favorites to battle it to out for that juicy $125K prize and some sweet BLAST travel benefits.
If you haven’t been following along yet, this tourney’s got eight of the best squads battling it out in best of three madness until Sunday’s grand final goes best of five.
Falcons outclassed Group A by whitewashing runner up Passion UA, beating them 13-11 in Train before closing it out with a 13-10 match on Mirage.
FURIA struggled a bit more over in Group B, but still emerged victoriously against Vitality in another 2-1 dogfight. They started with a nail biter 13-11 on Nuke, dropped an equally close 16-13 heartbreaker on Overpass before swinging back to a convincing 13-5 on Inferno.
The remainder of the field is shaking out nicely as well. Spirit secured its third place spot in Group A by destroying The MongolZ 13-6 on Dust II, 13-10 on Ancient, while paiN Gaming got past TYLOO 2-1 in Group B (a Nuke win at 13-7, an Ancient loss of 9-13 and defeated TYLOO on Overpass with a score line of 13-10). Unfortunately, the MongolZ and TYLOO are packing their bags early, landing that 7-8th spot and $10K consolation.
FURIA beating Vitality 2-1 in Hong Kong is a massive win.
Not only do they confirm they’re the better and more in form team right now, they also gain a huge advantage in the tournament.
